8.1 Safety guidelines during operation
WARNING
Do not remove covers when motor is running
Rotating or live parts are dangerous. Death, severe personal injury, or material damage can
result if the required covers are removed.
All covers that prevent personnel from coming into contact with active or rotating parts,
ensure compliance with the required degree of protection, or ensure proper air guidance
and, in turn, effective cooling must not be opened/removed during operation.
WARNING
Faults during operation
Deviations from normal operation (e.g. increased power consumption, temperature, or
vibration levels, unusual noises or odors, tripping of monitoring equipment, etc.) indicate
that the machine is not functioning properly. This can cause faults that can result in
eventual or immediate death, severe personal injury, or material damage.
Immediately inform maintenance personnel. If in doubt, shut down the motor immediately,
taking into account the plant-specific safety regulations.
CAUTION
Risk of burns
The temperature of certain parts of the motor can exceed 100 °C. Physical contact with the
machine could cause serious burns.
Check the temperature of the parts before touching them and take appropriate protective
measures if necessary.
